Definitions

  • compositions for alleviating discomfort are provided.
  • the invention is related to pharmaceutical and/or nutritional compositions, including infant formulae, for improving feelings of well-being, compensation of immaturity and problems in the metabolic capacity.
  • the nutritional products provide complete nutrition to infants, diseased and elderly people, and their composition is characterised by increased amounts of cofactors.
  • the nutritional products can also be in the form of supplements that provide the cofactors and only a part of the further desirable food components.
  • a new infant formula for complete nutrition that decreases the number of crying episodes and promotes sleeping behaviour for the child, especially for infants of young gestational age.
  • infant formulae that compensate for the relatively small capacity of the (rapidly developing) metabolic systems of the child shortly after birth. This leads to improved health, formation of higher quality new tissue (visual acuity, intellectual capacities, etc.), a better immune status and a decrease in occurrence of periods of increased bilirubin plasma levels (hyperbilirubinaemia or jaundice). Increased bilirubin levels are known to occur relatively often within the first 3 weeks after birth.
  • the invention is related to the use of folic acid, vitamins B12 and B6 or their functional analogues in the manufacture of compositions for the prevention and/or treatment of specific neurological disorders.
  • the invention also covers the products that are obtained by such use. Products according to the invention will be effective in improving sleep behaviour, insomnia, mood, decrease feelings of fear and depression and increase feelings of wellbeing. In addition, undesirable symptoms related to neurodegenerative disorders like Alzheimer, Parkinson and schizophrenia are decreased.
  • the products can be helpful in the prevention and/or treatment of symptoms associated with restless legs syndrome, myoclonus (a disorder that is often accompanied by muscle contractions and seizures), Gilles de la Tourette, phenylketonuria, multiple sclerosis, analgesia, epilepsy, mania, aggressive behaviour, bulimia and other disorders associated with saturation feelings after eating, ADHD, and psychiatric disorders associated with ageing. Large parts of the population suffer from one of these disorders. Application of common drug therapy may result in undesired side effects, such as addiction and ineffectivity, and may lead to functional deficiencies of food components. So there is a need for a pharmaceutical or nutritional formulation that helps prevent or treat these disorders and does not result in these side effects.
  • the product is unsuitable for feeding infants due to too high protein levels and potential toxicity of the amount of tryptophan that is included.
  • the product should also not be used for combating obesity of the infant.
  • EP-A-007691 discloses a formula for suppression of appetite for carbohydrates in adults, which comprises tryptophan, in an amount of 10-100 mg per kgbw.d, and carbohydrates, but no branched-chain amino acids.
  • the ratio of the amounts of tryptophan and carbohydrates in the formula must be 1 : 3-50.
  • the product is unsuitable for use in infants, because infants require branched chain amino acids at young age for growth.
  • WO 91/10441 discloses compositions comprising polypeptides containing more than 2.2% tryptophan as well as arginine or ornithine for providing a "serotinergic effect".
  • the product is developed for combating obesity in adults and treating feelings of depression.
  • ⁇ -lactalbumin is used as a source of tryptophan, which possesses a high ratio of tryptophan to large neutral amino acids plus methionine.
  • Vegetable proteins are suggested as attractive ingredients, because of their relatively high amount of arginine and relatively low levels of phenylalanine and tyrosine. The latter two amino acids are however essential amino acids and recommended daily intakes should be ensured.
  • WO 98/14204 discloses the use of ⁇ -lactalbumin as nutritional complement or medicine for regulating sleep, especially when a jet lag is observed. Consumption of 100 mg and 250 mg ⁇ -lactalbumin is claimed to be effective in adults. No relation is made to use in infants nor is indicated that vitamins might play a role in regulating sleep.
  • Alpha- lactalbumin was shown to have a value of the ratio of tryptophan to the sum of the large neutral amino acids is about 0.074 and that of the ratio Cys to Tip equals about 1.47, while the amount of tryptophan is relatively high (about 3.0%).
  • Heine discloses the use of hydrolysed ⁇ -lactalbumin as protein source in infant formulae in DE-A-4130284. Use of this protein hydrolysate was claimed in order to achieve a clear separation with ⁇ -lactoglobulin and thus administer a better-balanced composition with regard to threonine, tryptophan and cysteine/cystine. No reference was made to specific positive effects that can be obtained by using intact ⁇ -lactalbumin with regard to feelings of well-being nor the support of insufficiently functioning metabolic systems by using the products of the invention. No indication is given that folic acid, vitamin B12 and B6 play a crucial role in these respects.
  • the products disclosed by Heine are also more expensive and have a worse taste compared to the products of the present invention.
  • insulin is released from the pancreas. This latter component is known to reverse the catabolic processes in the body, that may have resulted from a period of starvation prior to the (re)feeding of the child, into anabolic processes.
  • plasma insulin levels remain sufficiently high to prevent catabolism of (in particular muscle) tissue and the resulting release of branched chain amino acids (BCAA, valine, isoleucine and leucine).
  • the invention is therefore aimed at developing formulae that provide an insulin response on a short term, with a sufficient longer-term effect as well.
  • Examples of these patients are persons that are at risk for or are suffering from diabetes mellitus or bladder cancer, persons that are subjected to drug therapy, persons suffering of renal problems, young infants and elderly persons. Also, it appeared to be very difficult to estimate for a particular person the exact requirement of tryptophan for obtaining optimal serotonin levels and it is unknown how high these desirable serotonin levels are.
  • the cofactors of interest are at least folic acid, pyridoxal phosphate and vitamin B12 or their functional equivalents. In addition it may be required to administer riboflavin, thiamine and niacin, or their functional equivalents.
  • the biochemical roles of folic acid, vitamin B6 and B12 are described in the art. To the best of the knowledge of the inventors, it is nowhere described or indicated that consumption of the combination of these vitamins, in amounts as given in the claims, is crucial for increasing well-being and normalising behaviour, senses of pain, and mood of the infant, and elder persons.
  • composition according to the invention For optimal effectivity at least 200 ⁇ g folic acid, at least 1.9 ⁇ g vitamin B12 and at least 0.3 mg vitamin B6 is required per daily dosage, and preferably at least 300 ⁇ g, at least 4.8 ⁇ g and at least 3.0 mg of respectively folic acid, vitamin B12 and vitamin B6.
  • vitamin B2 riboflavin
  • vitamin Bl thiamine
  • niacin per daily dosis is required.
  • a product according to the invention should advantageously comprise at least 5g digestible carbohydrates and preferably more than lOg on a daily basis. Per 100 kcal (419 kJ) of product, the amount of digestible carbohydrate is in the range of 4-25 g, preferably 6-22 g.
  • the product should further preferably comprise magnesium to improve methylation, and zinc to improve total metabolism of sulfur amino acids. Magnesium also stabilises the NMDA receptor. An overstimulation of the NMDA receptor is associated with many of the above-mentioned disorders and maintenance of an overstimulation of this receptor is claimed to aggravate some of the symptoms that are observed in some of these diseases. Zinc is further involved in the modulation of neurotransmitter receptors.
  • Zinc should best be above 0.7 mg/100 kcal, which results in a daily intake of at least 3.6 mg.
  • Magnesium should best be included in an amount of at least 5 mg /100 kcal, leading to a daily consumption of at least 36 mg.
  • the amounts of calcium and phophorus should not be too high.
  • the weight ratio of Mg + Zn to Ca should be more than 0.08, preferably more than 0.10, and the weight ratio of Mg + Zn to P should be more than 0.2, preferably more than 0.26 (and Ca+ Mg + Zn / P > 1.9).
  • Tryptophan can be included in an amount of 0.05-3g per daily dose, in particular 0.3-1.2g.
  • tryptophan is supplied in the form of a protein.
  • the protein must have an amino acid composition that is characterised by a high ratio of tryptophan/ large neutral amino acids, preferably in the range of 0.048-0.2.
  • Alfa-lactalbumin was found to be a suitable protein.
  • melatonin in the product, especially in those products that are meant to be used in the evening.
  • Melatonin upregulates certain enzymes that play an important role in the detoxification of radicals that are created in the highly firing neurons and that may play a role in the pathogenesis of the disorders mentioned above.
  • Melatonin also can help to set and regulate the circadian rhythm, which can be very helpful in the treatment of sleeping disorders and depression.
  • Melatonin can be included in an amount of 0.5-5g per daily dosage.
  • adenosine can be used to set the circadian cycle; an amount of 50 - 1000 mg per daily serving is recommended.
  • Betaine, choline, methionine or their functional equivalents should be included in those situations that is suspected that the patient suffers from a lack of food components that provide methyl groups. Examples are the elderly or schizophrenic patients that often have very poor eating behaviour. Betaine is the preferred source because it also can serve as a precursor for choline that is useful for synthesis or myelin or repair of damaged neurons and because it has an excellent taste. Obviously also choline itself can be used. Betaine can be included in an amount of 30-4000 mg and preferably 50-600 mg per daily dosage.
  • Methionine can be included in an amount of 50-1000 mg and preferably 100- 500mg per daily dosage.
  • Vitamin K phylloquinones, menaquinones and other naphtho- quinones
  • its functional equivalent is preferably included at a level of at least 8 ⁇ g, preferably at least 30 ⁇ g per 100 kcal. For elderly persons, a daily minimum of 1 mg is found to be beneficial.
  • Vitamin B 12 0.8-2000 1-1000 * ⁇ g
  • Vitamin B6 50-10000 60-2000 ⁇ g
  • Vitamin K > 8 30-90 ⁇ g
  • Energy density The energy density of the product is similar to that of prior art products and is in the range of 62-73 kcal 100ml liquid or reconstituted product. Preferably the energy density is in the range of 64-71 kcal/ml.
  • Proteins Protein levels in a product can be determined with the classical Kjeldahl method. The result reflects the crude proteins that are present. For the purpose of this invention we define the protein level as the amount of real proteins plus the amount of amino acids, their salts and peptides; so non-protein nitrogen is excluded.
  • the protein levels will be in the range of 1.0-3.0 g per 100 kcal, especially between 1.0 and 2.4 g/100 kcal, which allows complete satisfaction of the infants protein needs. An amount of 1.5-2.2 g/100 kcal is most preferred.
  • the higher protein levels such as from 2.0 or from 2.4 to 3.0 are especially suitable in combination with increased levels of folic acid, vitamin B6 and/or vitamin B12.
  • Conventional proteins like those from cow's milk or soybeans can be used as basic protein sources, as they provide sufficient amounts of all essential amino acids but also branched-chain amino acids.
  • free L-tryptophan or a functional equivalent thereof like tryptophan salts or tryptophan-rich peptides, can be suppleted. If free L-tryptophan is used, special care is taken to remove all impurities that might cause toxic reactions. It is further preferred to use a tryptophan source that is stable under the conditions that the infant formula is manufactured.
  • a suitable source is a tryptophan-rich protein or a hydrolysate or extract thereof. If proteins are used as ingredient, it is obvious that the levels of the large neutral amino acids (Tyr, Phe, Val, Leu, He) and threonine are relatively low.
  • suitable proteins in this respect are acid whey, ⁇ -lactalbumin, egg protein and proteins from meat and wheat, and mixtures of two or more of these components.
  • Acid whey protein or unhydrolysed ⁇ -lactalbumin are especially preferred, because of the excellent amino acid profile and the sustained release pattern in young children compared to hydrolysates thereof or compared to a combination of mixtures of alternative dairy products and suppleted sources of tryptophan, cysteine or arginine.
  • Tryptophan should be present in the product in an amount of 1.6-3.5 g, especially 1.7-3.5 g per 100 g of the total protein component and preferably in an amount of 1.9-2.8 g/100 g protein.
  • the value of the ratio of the amounts in the product of tryptophan and the sum of the large neutral amino acids must be in the range 4.8-10 and preferably in the range 5.5-8.5 /100, and most preferably 6.2-8.2 /100.
  • the value of the ratio must be in the range 4.1-8.0 and preferably in the range 4.7-7.5.
  • whey proteins or egg proteins can be included in the formula. If whey proteins are used, acid whey is recommended, in order to avoid too high threonine levels. It is especially preferred to have a relatively high ratio of Cys/T ⁇ in the range of 0.8-1.4, in order to support optimally inclusion of cysteine in liver proteins and in glutathione, which is required for optimal growth and immune function.
  • arginine or lysine can be supplied as L-forms of the free amino acid or as their functional equivalents.
  • Functional equivalents of amino acids can for example be their salts, synthetic peptides, or proteins that are rich in the particular amino acid, or extracts or hydrolysates of these proteins.
  • mixtures of proteins can be included. For example mixtures of 40% casein and 60% whey could be suppleted with the hydrochloric salts of L-tryptophan or L-arginine.
  • arginine in a form that is slowly released such as by using a granulate or similar system that comprises an arginine salt like L-arginine.HCl, or by using partially pea protein, or a hydrolysate or extract thereof, in order to extend the insulin effect.
  • the total amount of arginine plus lysine should exceed 200, preferably exceed 250 mg/kg, e.g. 280 mg/kgbw.d.
  • the amount of protein that is required for providing this amount of arginine can be calculated from this number and the concentration of arginine or lysine in this protein.
  • Carbohydrates According to the invention, the amount of carbohydrates in the formula must be in the range of 9-15 g/100 kcal (35-60 en%), and preferably in the range of l l-14 g/ 100 kcal. This results in a carbohydrate content of 5.7-10.5 g per 100 ml of liquid or reconstituted product.
  • the ratio of the amount of carbohydrates to the amount of tryptophan will exceed 20 and preferably 50, and go up to 940, preferably up to 450.
  • the weight ratio of carbohydrates to protein is preferably from 5 to 14, most preferably from 6 to 12.
  • Folic acid can occur in nature in many forms. Typically it is suppleted to infant formulae as monoglutamate. Though according to the invention basically all functional equivalents of folic acid can be used, it is preferred to use the monoglutamate form for obtaining best bioavailability. It is essential to include at least 44 ⁇ g per 100 kcal. If higher amounts of folic acid are consumed, a larger group of infants will show an improved serotonin- and melatonin metabolism, even if the amounts of tryptophan are relatively low as in conventional infant formulae.
  • Vitamin B12 is normally present in infant formula partially as a complex with dairy proteins and predominantly as suppleted cyanocobalamine. Before it is absorbed the complex has to be split in the stomach and the released cyanocobalamine has to bind to a factor that is released from the stomach. Once absorbed, cyanocobalamine or alternative forms have to be converted to methylcobalamine, before they can be used as a cofactor that catalyses the conversion of homocysteine to methionine. Both absorption and conversion of cyanocobalamine occur ineffectively in part of the population of young infants.
  • vitamin B12 it is therefore required to supplete at least 0.1 ⁇ g, and preferably more than 0.8 ⁇ g vitamin B12 per 100 kcal, preferably as hydroxycobalamine or a stabilised form, in order to support serotonin biosynthesis and metabolism effectively.
  • vitamin B12 metabolic equivalents, i.e. compounds that lead to endogenous formation of vitamin B12, can also be used.
  • Vitamin B6 Vitamin B6 is active in the cells as pyridoxal phosphate. However pyridoxine or pyridoxamine are frequently used as source of this vitamin, because of the stability of these compounds. Infants, especially those of young age, have a restricted capacity to convert these compounds to the active form. It has been found that a simple increase in the dose may decrease the intracellular pyridoxal phosphate levels. It is there- fore preferred to include in the formula 50-130 ⁇ g vitamin B6 per 100 kcal. If higher amounts of vitamin B6 are suppleted, it is not recommended to use pyridoxine. Also mixtures of pyridoxamine or pyridoxal can be used.
  • Zinc It is desirable that the amount of zinc is in the range of 0.7-2 mg/100 kcal, preferably from 0.7 to 1.0 mg/100 kcal. Zinc can be included as a zinc salt, such as zinc chloride or as a complex with amino acids or other components.
  • microingredients may advantageously be included in a complete infant formula, according to EEC 91/321 or corresponding Regulation: these include: Betaine, choline; taurine, inositol, calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, iron, manganese, copper, iodine, sodium, potassium, chloride, selenium, fluoride, carnitine, nucleotides, cholesterol, vitamin A, vit. D, vit. E, vit K, thiamine, riboflavin, pantothenic acid, biotin, and ascorbic acid.
  • Fats are included in the range of 40-57 en%. The composition of the fat can be selected from prior art compositions.
  • the essential fatty acids that are present must preferably have the cis-configuration.
  • the product of the invention can have the form of liquid or a powder, that can be reconstituted with water to produce a ready to feed formulation.
  • the liquid products can be packaged in bottles, cartons and the like.
  • the powdered products can be packaged in vacuumised packs, cans or sachets and other suitable forms that are known to a person skilled in the art.
  • ⁇ has an excellent taste and can be produced at acceptable costs.
  • a liquid infant formula having the composition as presented in table 2 was prepared.
  • Table 2 Composition of liquid infant formula
  • Vitamin A 80-90 RE ⁇ -Carotene 0-40 ⁇ g
  • Vitamin E 0.8-1.4 mg TE
  • Vitamin B12 (added as hydroxycobalamine) 0.4-0.7 ⁇ g Vitamin B6 (added as pyridoxine) 50-65 ⁇ g
  • This product can be used for improving sleeping behaviour of young infants.
  • Product to be used for the elderly or toddlers as a bedtime drink Powdered supplement packed in a can under nitrogen; 10 g to be reconstituted in fruit juice or milk before going to bed. To 8 kg maltodextrin DEI 9 are added: 2.0 kg alfa-lactalbumin 50 mg melatonin 100 mg folic acid monoglutamate
